PAN IIT 2013: Call for registration

As many of you are aware and involved, Houston, TX is hosting the IIT 2013 Global Conference from December 6-8, 2013.

If you have already received a similar registration request, please bear with me as we are trying to ensure that we reach out everyone in absence o a single email list.

UPDATE: Early bird registrations have already been filled to the limit earlier than the planned date.

Discounted Summer Specials are being offered to first 750 registrants or till June 30th. Latest count shows us at 549 registrants.

To foster better communication and relationsip building, an initiative was launched to establish a alumni directory. There are multitude of options available and volunteers are needed to identify the best solution which is secure and easy to use for all our alumni.

Special help is needed from our fellow alumni to provide technical direction, implementation help and become champions for their batch, branch or geography.

It does not take too much time and will help build a high value resource for all our alumni.

For any questions or to engage in this critical effort, please send an email to iitraanasa@gmail.com.
